You can call action DevicePolicyManager.SET_NEW_PASSWORD to send user to lock screen settings fragment (firstly he will have to type current password/pattern for secure lock types):

Intent intent = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD);
startActivity(intent);

There is none. You can view all possible Intents in android's source code: https://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_settings/blob/master/AndroidManifest.xml

EDIT:

It turns out that this had been added in Version 2.2 of Android.
Please ee pleczko's answer below.

Before Android 2.2 there is no intent to do this.

This is just incorrect. See the @pkleczko answer below. – Steve Blackwell Jul 20 '16 at 07:10
@SteveBlackwell You are totally right, it exists since Android 2.2. I have edited my answer to not mislead other people. – bricklore Jul 21 '16 at 18:12
